For someone else, these'll make great travel shoes, but thought I'd review them to give y'all a heads up. I've had this problem before with similar (EB and other) styles: on the top of my foot (big toe side), the curved edge of the shoe cuts into the skin---maybe because my foot arcs up higher than some peoples'. It even does that if I put moleskin on the inside of the shoe. Had to send them back, despite initial happiness with look and feel.
